Fabulous opportunity for an experienced, quality-focused Home Manager to manage a well-established Residential Care Home in the Walsall area of the West Midlands.

This friendly 23-bed Home, which is run by a small, independent care home group, offers comprehensive residential care services for the elderly, some with dementia, from within a pleasant residential setting close to local amenities.

The successful candidate will assume full accountability for the operational performance of the Home and be expected to develop and maintain excellent relationships with outside agencies and other stakeholders, with a view to consistently achieving excellent occupancy levels as a result.

Furthermore, the post-holder will work in close liaison with the carer team to drive quality standards and improvements within the Home, ensuring the fundamental standards recently introduced by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) are met and then consistently adhered to.

Applicants must be experienced Home Managers, ideally with a Registered Managers Award (or equivalent) and significant proven experience of working in a similar role.

Outstanding communication, team-working and leadership skills are all essential, as is demonstrable experience in providing a service which meets all CQC registration requirements to a high standard. Furthermore, applicants should ideally have previous experience of managing within elderly care settings, whilst at the same time being commercially aware, proactive individuals, with excellent administration skills.
